We make Drry, a competing community platform, so read this with that in mind. Mighty Networks costs $95 a month on Launch ($79 a month billed annually), $215 a month on Scale, and $354 a month on Growth, plus a transaction fee of 2%, 1%, or 0.5% respectively on every sale, with Mighty Pro available at custom enterprise pricing. That is the whole answer; the rest of this page is what those numbers mean in practice, where the costs stack, and how to decide whether the bill is worth it for your community.

The 2025 rename decoder
If you researched Mighty Networks before 2025, the plan names you remember are gone. That year the lineup was renamed: Community became Launch, Courses became Scale, and Business became Growth. The tier structure underneath carried over, so a three-year-old review of the Business plan is roughly describing today's Growth plan, and a comparison post praising the Courses plan is talking about what is now Scale.
This matters for more than trivia. A lot of the advice you will find in forums and older articles quotes the old names and old prices, and the mismatch makes Mighty's pricing look more confusing than it is. Decode the names first and the current lineup is actually simple: three standard tiers that climb in price and drop in transaction fee, plus one enterprise tier with no published price at all.
The three standard tiers and what each unlocks
Launch, $95 a month ($79 a month billed annually), is the entry point. You get the core of what Mighty is known for: community spaces, courses, and events, with a 2% transaction fee on everything you sell through the platform. For a coach running a single community with a course or two and a calendar of live sessions, Launch covers the essentials.
Scale, $215 a month, is where Mighty puts the operational machinery: more advanced automations, deeper analytics, and higher limits across the board, with the transaction fee dropping to 1%. This is the tier Mighty positions for communities that have found their footing and are ready to systematize, the kind of machinery you only miss once you have enough members that doing things by hand hurts.
Growth, $354 a month, continues the pattern: the highest limits of the standard lineup and the lowest transaction fee at 0.5%. The pitch is straightforward: as your revenue grows, you pay Mighty more per month in exchange for keeping a slightly larger slice of each sale.
Two billing details worth knowing before you commit. Annual billing saves roughly 16 to 17% versus paying monthly, which on Scale or Growth is real money over a year. And there is a 14-day free trial with no card required, but no free plan: once the trial ends, the meter starts at $95 a month whether you have two members or two hundred.
The stacked-fee math
The subscription is the visible cost. The cost that sneaks up on people is the stack: Mighty's transaction fee sits on top ofstandard payment processing, not instead of it. Combine the platform's 0.5 to 2% with the processor's cut and the per-sale cost on web transactions commonly lands in the 3 to 7% range depending on your plan, your processor rates, and where your buyers are. Here is what that looks like for a typical coaching community.
None of this is hidden, to be clear: Mighty publishes the fees plainly. But when you compare platforms, compare the whole stack, subscription plus platform fee plus processing, at the revenue you expect to have in a year, not the revenue you have today. A pricing model that feels cheap at 20 members can feel very different at 200.
Mighty Pro and who it is for
Above the standard tiers sits Mighty Pro, the enterprise offering. There is no price on the website: it is custom, quoted after a sales conversation. What you get for it is genuinely different in kind, not just degree: custom-built iOS and Android appsunder your own brand in the app stores, plus dedicated strategy services from Mighty's team.
That combination targets a specific buyer: organizations, media brands, and large creator businesses for whom a branded native app is a strategic requirement, and who have the budget for an enterprise relationship. If you are a solo coach or a small team, Mighty Pro is almost certainly not your tier, and that is fine, it was never aimed at you. If a branded app genuinely is your requirement, get the quote in writing, ask what happens to the app if you leave, and budget for an enterprise-scale annual commitment rather than a monthly line item.
Who Mighty pricing honestly suits
We compete with Mighty Networks, so weigh this section accordingly, but the honest read is that Mighty's pricing works well for a particular shape of community. Mighty's standout strength is its live layer: events, cohorts, challenges, and the connective tissue between members. If your community IS the gatherings, if the calendar is the product and the course library is the supporting act, then you will actually use the surface area those tiers pay for.
- Events-first communitiesthat run a dense calendar of live sessions and want the platform's event mechanics doing the heavy lifting.
- Cohort-based programsthat start groups together, run them through challenges, and lean on automations to manage the choreography, which is exactly what Scale's machinery is built for.
- Communities that will grow into the tiers, where the jump from a 2% fee to 1% or 0.5% has a clear break-even against the higher subscription at your actual revenue.
Where the pricing suits you less: if you are pre-revenue or validating an idea, $95 a month with no free plan is a steep on-ramp. And if your model is a straightforward membership, a community feed, a course library, a monthly price, you may be paying for a lot of platform you will not touch, while still sharing a percentage of every sale.
How that compares to a flat-price home
Here is our pitch, disclosed as such, with numbers you can verify. Drry charges a flat subscription and 0% of member payments on every plan: money flows through your own Stripe account, so only Stripe's standard processing applies and the customer relationship is yours. There is a genuinely free plan, 100 members, 5 GB of storage, unlimited courses, no card required, and then flat plans at $29 and $99 a month.
Run the same worked example from above: 100 members at $49 a month on Drry's $29 plan costs $348 a year in platform fees, with zero percent of the $58,800 gross going to us, versus roughly $2,300 a year to Mighty on Launch before processing. The honest counterweight: Mighty's live-events layer, cohort mechanics, and native member apps are real capabilities, and if they are central to your model, the cheaper platform is not automatically the better one. If they are not central, you are paying a percentage of your growth for machinery you do not run.

Questions coaches ask
Does Mighty Networks take a cut of sales?
Yes, on every standard plan. Launch takes 2% of each transaction, Scale takes 1%, and Growth takes 0.5%, all on top of standard payment-processing fees. The percentage shrinks as your subscription grows, but it never reaches zero on the standard tiers: even at $354 a month you are still sharing half a percent of every sale, plus processing.
Does Mighty Networks have a free plan?
No. There is a 14-day free trial with no card required, but after that the cheapest way in is Launch at $95 a month (or $79 a month billed annually). If you want to run a community at zero platform cost while you validate the idea, you will need a different platform for that stage.
What happened to the Community and Business plans?
They were renamed, not retired. In 2025 Mighty Networks renamed its tiers: the Community plan became Launch, the Courses plan became Scale, and the Business plan became Growth. If you are comparing notes against an older review or a screenshot of the old pricing page, map the names across and the tier structure lines up.
How much does Mighty Pro cost?
Mighty Networks does not publish a price for Mighty Pro: it is custom, quoted by their sales team based on what you need, and you have to book a call to get a number. It is the enterprise tier, built around custom-branded iOS and Android apps plus dedicated strategy services, so expect a budget conversation in the tens of thousands per year rather than hundreds per month.
